After the defeat on Saturday in Austria, 1-2, the moral of the national team had come down, not from the result of the result, but of the tricolor playing manner. On Tuesday evening, the students of Mircea Lucescu were washed, unfortunately, passing by Cyprus, an obviously weaker, but quite uncomfortable team.

With a designated team captain, the first representative has seized the game from the star's star. The opportunities have also come, especially on Man's side, much more active than how we had used us lately. The tricolors solved the match in the final minutes of the first half, when the phases had a hallucinating deployment.
Madness at the end of the first half
Tanase was fouled by the goalkeeper of the guests from the position of last defender, but the central was forgiven on the mall by a red card, after watching the resumes at the Var monitor. Immediately, Mihai Popescu made a joke and left on three opponents alone with Moldovan. But our brave goalkeeper has removed with a parade of big days! At the next phase came our goal, started from the Cypriot corner.
Florin Tanase scored (min. 42), after a counterattack carried by Dennis Man, who left three opponents. In the minutes of extensions, he also scored the living silver of our team, after one-two effect with the other Denis from the tricolor attack, Drăguș. 2-0 at the break and the 45,000 spectators in the stands ended the half, applauding their favorites.
No lucidity in the second part of the match
After the resumption, all Romania was in the foreground, but the lucidity in front of the gate left to be desired. This is even if Mitriță also entered the field, Jolly-Joker Romania. It ended 2-0, after a good game of the students of Mircea Lucescu, the only regret being that I did not give them more to the Cypriots, considering that, in case of equal points, the next criterion of separation is the golaverage.
Romania remains in the race for the second place in the group, which leads to the Dam of Qualification at the World Cup 2026. Our national has already ensured the presence in this phase of the competition, but a second position in the group would place us behind 2 or 3, while on the League of Nations we would be only in the 4th, with high chances.
